Generally, every function of the Python bindings can throw an
tinkerforge.ip_connection.Error
exception that has a value
and a
description
property. value
can have different values:
All functions listed below are thread-safe.
BrickletNFCRFID
(uid, ipcon)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Creates an object with the unique device ID uid
:
nfc_rfid = BrickletNFCRFID("YOUR_DEVICE_UID", ipcon)
This object can then be used after the IP Connection is connected.
BrickletNFCRFID.
request_tag_id
(tag_type)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
To read or write a tag that is in proximity of the NFC/RFID Bricklet you first have to call this function with the expected tag type as parameter. It is no problem if you don't know the tag type. You can cycle through the available tag types until the tag gives an answer to the request.
Currently the following tag types are supported:
After you call request_tag_id()
the NFC/RFID Bricklet will try to read
the tag ID from the tag. After this process is done the state will change.
You can either register the CALLBACK_STATE_CHANGED
callback or you can poll
get_state()
to find out about the state change.
If the state changes to RequestTagIDError it means that either there was
no tag present or that the tag is of an incompatible type. If the state
changes to RequestTagIDReady it means that a compatible tag was found
and that the tag ID could be read out. You can now get the tag ID by
calling get_tag_id()
.
If two tags are in the proximity of the NFC/RFID Bricklet, this
function will cycle through the tags. To select a specific tag you have
to call request_tag_id()
until the correct tag id is found.
In case of any Error state the selection is lost and you have to
start again by calling request_tag_id()
.
The following constants are available for this function:
For tag_type:
BrickletNFCRFID.
get_tag_id
()¶Return Object: |
|
---|
Returns the tag type, tag ID and the length of the tag ID
(4 or 7 bytes are possible length). This function can only be called if the
NFC/RFID is currently in one of the Ready states. The returned ID
is the ID that was saved through the last call of request_tag_id()
.
To get the tag ID of a tag the approach is as follows:
request_tag_id()
get_state()
or
CALLBACK_STATE_CHANGED
callback)get_tag_id()
The following constants are available for this function:
For tag_type:
BrickletNFCRFID.
get_state
()¶Return Object: |
|
---|
Returns the current state of the NFC/RFID Bricklet.
On startup the Bricklet will be in the Initialization state. The initialization will only take about 20ms. After that it changes to Idle.
The functions of this Bricklet can be called in the Idle state and all of the Ready and Error states.
Example: If you call request_page()
, the state will change to
RequestPage until the reading of the page is finished. Then it will change
to either RequestPageReady if it worked or to RequestPageError if it
didn't. If the request worked you can get the page by calling get_page()
.
The same approach is used analogously for the other API functions.
The following constants are available for this function:
For state:
BrickletNFCRFID.
authenticate_mifare_classic_page
(page, key_number, key)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Mifare Classic tags use authentication. If you want to read from or write to
a Mifare Classic page you have to authenticate it beforehand.
Each page can be authenticated with two keys: A (key_number
= 0) and B
(key_number
= 1). A new Mifare Classic
tag that has not yet been written to can be accessed with key A
and the default key [0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF, 0xFF]
.
The approach to read or write a Mifare Classic page is as follows:
request_tag_id()
get_state()
or CALLBACK_STATE_CHANGED
callback)get_tag_id()
and check if the
expected tag was found, if it was not found go back to step 1authenticate_mifare_classic_page()
with page and key for the pageget_state()
or CALLBACK_STATE_CHANGED
callback)request_page()
or write_page()
to read/write pageThe following constants are available for this function:
For key_number:
BrickletNFCRFID.
write_page
(page, data)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Writes 16 bytes starting from the given page. How many pages are written depends on the tag type. The page sizes are as follows:
The general approach for writing to a tag is as follows:
request_tag_id()
get_state()
or
CALLBACK_STATE_CHANGED
callback)get_tag_id()
and check if the
expected tag was found, if it was not found got back to step 1write_page()
with page number and dataget_state()
or
CALLBACK_STATE_CHANGED
callback)If you use a Mifare Classic tag you have to authenticate a page before you
can write to it. See authenticate_mifare_classic_page()
.
BrickletNFCRFID.
request_page
(page)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Reads 16 bytes starting from the given page and stores them into a buffer.
The buffer can then be read out with get_page()
.
How many pages are read depends on the tag type. The page sizes are
as follows:
The general approach for reading a tag is as follows:
request_tag_id()
get_state()
or CALLBACK_STATE_CHANGED
callback)get_tag_id()
and check if the
expected tag was found, if it was not found got back to step 1request_page()
with page numberget_state()
or CALLBACK_STATE_CHANGED
callback)get_page()
to retrieve the page from the bufferIf you use a Mifare Classic tag you have to authenticate a page before you
can read it. See authenticate_mifare_classic_page()
.

get_page
()¶Returns: |
|
---|
Returns 16 bytes of data from an internal buffer. To fill the buffer
with specific pages you have to call request_page()
beforehand.
BrickletNFCRFID.
get_identity
()¶Return Object: |
|
---|
Returns the UID, the UID where the Bricklet is connected to, the position, the hardware and firmware version as well as the device identifier.
The position can be 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f', 'g' or 'h' (Bricklet Port). A Bricklet connected to an Isolator Bricklet is always at position 'z'.
The device identifier numbers can be found here. There is also a constant for the device identifier of this Bricklet.
Callbacks can be registered to receive
time critical or recurring data from the device. The registration is done
with the register_callback()
function of
the device object. The first parameter is the callback ID and the second
parameter the callback function:
def my_callback(param):
print(param)
nfc_rfid.register_callback(BrickletNFCRFID.CALLBACK_EXAMPLE, my_callback)
The available constants with inherent number and type of parameters are described below.
Note
Using callbacks for recurring events is always preferred compared to using getters. It will use less USB bandwidth and the latency will be a lot better, since there is no round trip time.

CALLBACK_STATE_CHANGED
¶Callback Parameters: |
|
---|
This callback is called if the state of the NFC/RFID Bricklet changes.
See get_state()
for more information about the possible states.
The following constants are available for this function:
For state:
Virtual functions don't communicate with the device itself, but operate only on the API bindings device object. They can be called without the corresponding IP Connection object being connected.
BrickletNFCRFID.
get_api_version
()¶Return Object: |
|
---|
Returns the version of the API definition implemented by this API bindings. This is neither the release version of this API bindings nor does it tell you anything about the represented Brick or Bricklet.
BrickletNFCRFID.
get_response_expected
(function_id)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Returns the response expected flag for the function specified by the function ID parameter. It is true if the function is expected to send a response, false otherwise.
For getter functions this is enabled by default and cannot be disabled,
because those functions will always send a response. For callback configuration
functions it is enabled by default too, but can be disabled by
set_response_expected()
. For setter functions it is disabled by default
and can be enabled.
Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.
The following constants are available for this function:
For function_id:
BrickletNFCRFID.
set_response_expected
(function_id, response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Changes the response expected flag of the function specified by the function ID parameter. This flag can only be changed for setter (default value: false) and callback configuration functions (default value: true). For getter functions it is always enabled.
Enabling the response expected flag for a setter function allows to detect timeouts and other error conditions calls of this setter as well. The device will then send a response for this purpose. If this flag is disabled for a setter function then no response is sent and errors are silently ignored, because they cannot be detected.
The following constants are available for this function:
For function_id:
BrickletNFCRFID.
set_response_expected_all
(response_expected)¶Parameters: |
|
---|---|
Returns: |
|
Changes the response expected flag for all setter and callback configuration functions of this device at once.
BrickletNFCRFID.
DEVICE_IDENTIFIER
¶This constant is used to identify a NFC/RFID Bricklet.
The get_identity()
function and the
IPConnection.CALLBACK_ENUMERATE
callback of the IP Connection have a device_identifier
parameter to specify
the Brick's or Bricklet's type.
BrickletNFCRFID.
DEVICE_DISPLAY_NAME
¶This constant represents the human readable name of a NFC/RFID Bricklet.
